Arc 6 – Slag that Little Wolfhound
Chapter 141

As the saying goes, the eldest sister is like a mother.

Although Wen Xin and Wen Yu are only one year apart, Wen Yu was willing to put himself in the young and ignorant role and listen to every word Wen Xin had to say.

It was because he knew that Wen Xin was saying it for his own good.

But after hearing Wen Xin’s words, Wen Yu didn’t answer immediately.

He was silent for a long time. He then turned his head back, straightened up and said softly, “I won’t get hurt.”

“I won’t get hurt again.”

That second half didn’t seem to be spoken for Wen Xin to hear, it seemed more like a warning and reminder for himself. Wen Xin frowned and wanted to say something, but she suddenly heard Wen Yu ask her a question.

“Do you know how one can know what kind of feeling they have towards someone? What is it like to hate someone, what is it like to like someone, and what is it like to be infatuated with someone?”

He could tell that his feelings towards Wen Xijun had changed but even now, he couldn’t tell what kind of feeling it had changed to.

Like? It didn’t seem like it.

Hate? That also didn’t seem right.

Infatuation? Seems to be similar but also not quite.

He originally possessed 100% hatred and anger towards Wen Xijun and because of that he had thought of a detailed plan to retaliate against him. It stood to reason that no matter what new emotions formed inside him, it shouldn’t continue forming and should be contained.

Wen Yu knew very clearly what he should do next but before doing it, he wanted to confirm his feelings.

Wen Xin looked at him for a few seconds and slowly retracted her gaze. She looked down at her knees and lightly clenched her fists. The corners of her lips slowly raised, as if she was thinking of something pleasant.

“If you hate someone, you want to see them cry.”

“If you are infatuated with someone, you want to see them smile.”

“If you like someone……You want that person to see you, want to see all their happiness and unhappiness, smiles and tears, happen because of you.”

Wen Yu was a little surprised.

Wen Xin had already left for several minutes but Wen Yu was still sitting on the edge of the flowerbed. He only moved a few minutes later. He didn’t stand up and instead looked up at a window that was still lit up in the middle of the night.

Chi Zhao was standing behind the window. Seeing him look over, he was startled and subconsciously wanted to find a place to hide but he quickly remembered that this was a one-way glass, and you couldn’t see inside.

…….

Wen Yu’s gaze didn’t linger very long. Very soon, he stood up and returned into the residence. The gorgeous flowerbed had returned to silence. Chi Zhao stood behind the window; his expression very poor.

“System.”

The system was still busy feeling emotional over the warm-hearted Wen Xin. Hearing it being called, it hummed in response.

“Wen Xin doing something like this tonight…….”

The system looked questioningly at Chi Zhao. It didn’t know what he was trying to say.

Chi Zhao: “Is she trying to steal him away from me?!”

System: “……….”

The system could hear Wen Xin and Wen Yu’s conversation, but Chi Zhao couldn’t hear them so in Chi Zhao’s eyes, what he saw was an unmarried man and woman suddenly dancing romantically by the flowerbed for a while and when Wen Xin got tired, Wen Yu sat next to her and the two appeared to be getting along very well with smiles on their faces.

That was a clear show of cheating!

The system felt like its internal system was about to break down but, in a sense, Chi Zhao was right. After all, the concealed meaning behind Wen Xin’s words was to persuade Wen Yu to stop liking him.

But from the looks of it, it seems that Wen Yu had not yet completely fallen in love with Chi Zhao.

Human feelings are too complicated. To not even be able to tell whether or not they like someone and even confuse it with the feeling of hate, it was no wonder the road to love is never smooth.

Fortunately, it is also because the road to love is not smooth that many popular, classic songs come about, indirectly contributing to the birth of virtual singers like itself.

………

The next day, just as Chi Zhao was wondering whether he should send Wen Xin off on a business trip, Wen Yu suddenly took the initiative to knock on his office door.

These days, Wen Yu had been resolutely adhering to the principle of not seeing Chi Zhao and the two had interacted very few times. Chi Zhao raised a brow and then allowed him to enter. He sat behind his desk and waited for him to speak.

Wen Yu didn’t go around in circles and went straight to the point, “Father, I heard that the general manager of the southern branch has resigned.”

Chi Zhao’s breezy expression suddenly stiffened.

“……Yes, what about it?”

The southern branch was a relatively large branch of the main company and the general manager there had just been poached by one of Wen Family’s competitor. This was something that originally happened in the plot. In the plot, Wen Yu seized this opportunity to propose to Wen Xijun that he wanted to become the temporary general manager there to firstly, develop himself further and secondly, help solve Wen Xijun’s problems.

Wen Xijun thought over it carefully and felt that although Wen Yu was still young, the southern branch was indeed a suitable place for further training and development, and it was also only a temporary arrangement, so he sent Wen Yu over. Wen Yu didn’t let him down. Four months later, he quietly retreated and returned to Wen Xijun.

But during those four months, Wen Yu had been secretly building his own network in the south. Without Wen Xijun’s knowledge, he managed to expand that network of his extensively and when he finally moved to deal with Wen Xijun, it could be said that this network helped him out a lot.

It could be said that this network was established by Wen Yu mainly in order to defeat Wen Xijun. Since Wen Yu was proposing this, did it mean that he still planned to kill him?!

What was even more frightening was that Wen Yu’s next words and the original plot seemed to be the same, almost unchanged.

Chi Zhao could barely suppress the shock inside him. After taking some time to recover, he finally asked, “Why do you suddenly want to go there?”

The situation in the southern branch didn’t just happen suddenly, it was something that had happened for several days already. Wen Yu didn’t show any intentions to go there before but why was he suddenly following the original plot line now?

What on earth did Wen Xin tell him…..

The system hidden deep in Chi Zhao’s mind kept its mouth shut and resolutely played the role of an audience watching the show play out.

…….

Wen Yu raised his head and looked at Wen Xijun’s face which has not shown any changes the entire time. Wen Yu paused for a second and then gave his answer, “Because I am not strong enough.”

That’s why Wen Xijun never saw him as an equal. Only after becoming strong enough, he will be able to enter Wen Xijun’s eyes and talk to him on equal standings.

Everything he has now were given to him by Wen Xijun. Wen Xijun could give him these gifts and he could also easily take them away. The day he takes them away would be the day he needs to completely leave Wen Xijun’s side.

Wen Yu didn’t want to be a dispensable adopted son who could be replaced by someone at any time.  What he wanted was a lot more than what Wen Xijun gave him.

To achieve his goal, he must leave this place, go to a place outside of Wen Xijun’s control and then develop himself through his own efforts.

Every boy would go through a period like this, a period where they desperately want to become stronger and start something from scratch which will allow them to become a real man. Wen Yu had reached that stage in life and it was Chi Zhao himself who had triggered it.

Chi Zhao however was unaware of Wen Yu’s thoughts and the thoughts of the two were on two completely different wavelengths.

He looked fixatedly at Wen Yu who returned his gaze and suddenly felt a strange sense of anxiousness inside him.

After three long seconds, Chi Zhao leaned back in his chair and nodded calmly, “I understand. You can go. I agree to it.”

Once Wen Yu was gone, Chi Zhao no longer needed to maintain his act. With one hand supporting his forehead, his eyes fell onto the wooden desk below and he turned scarily quiet.

The system wanted to ask him what was wrong, but it felt that Chi Zhao wouldn’t answer so it just quietly extended a data cable and used it to listen to Chi Zhao’s inner thoughts.

Chi Zhao’s mood was very complicated. It wasn’t something that could be explained with a few words.

He had always had a vague guess inside him. After going through several worlds, that guess had gradually become regarded by him as a fact.

He didn’t seek to prove or think about the issues of whether it was true. Perhaps it was because of this, he no longer thought about going home and no longer missed his family and friends. He still remembered the consequences the system had told him long ago, but he no longer cared.

If the protagonists he had met were all the same person and he had been in love with the same person the entire time, then as long as he had this person by his side, he was willing to stay in these worlds forever.

Chi Zhao no longer knew when he had made this decision. It wasn’t easy for him to give up returning to the parents who had given birth to him. In order not to make himself be depressed for too long, he always tried to find things for himself to do. For example, right now, although he wasn’t very good at managing such a big group, he still came to work on time every day.

Only when one busies themselves will they stop their overthinking, but right now, Chi Zhao couldn’t do anything but overthink.

Because Chi Zhao had realised that he seemed to have been too overconfident.

Even if the protagonists he had encountered until now were the same person, it didn’t necessarily mean that the future protagonists would still be the same person. And would that man who had shared a bed with him be willing to be trapped in these endless cycles with him?

He had one-sidedly decided their future but had completely forgotten that the other party may not like this arrangement.

For a long time, Chi Zhao’s basis for determining whether the other party was that person was through their identity as the protagonist and their ability to quickly fall in love with him. In this world however, Wen Yu was the protagonist, but he didn’t love him.

And he even wanted to kill him.

Chi Zhao suddenly felt a little at loss. What had he been doing these days?

When the system heard this, it anxiously stretched out its data cable. It wanted to tell Chi Zhao that it wasn’t futile, that he didn’t make a mistake and that they are really all the same person. It didn’t know what had gone wrong. After some thought, however, it quietly stored its data cables away again.

Forget it. That would be equivalent to revealing third party information to the host. If a system did this, they would be returned back to the factory. Although its current contract had changed, it was still required to complete its role as the slag shou system until it is no longer bound to Chi Zhao so it couldn’t break the rules now.
